Annus Horribilis

This is a news segment about Queens Elizabeth’s “Annus Horribilis.“ The phrase was brought to prominence by Queen Elizabeth II in a speech to the Guildhall on November 24, 1992, marking the 40th anniversary of her accession, in which she described the year as an annus horribilis. “1992 is not a year on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure. In the words of one of my more sympathetic correspondents, it has turned out to be an Annus Horribilis.“
